[Manna - January 8]
See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. 1 Thessalonians 5:15
ACCORDING to the Scriptural standard, the elect
church of Christ should be the most polished, the
most refined, the most polite, the most generous, the
most kind of all the people in the world;—and should
be all these in the most absolute sense; not in the
mere sense of an outward form and appearance of
kindness, gentleness, etc., so common in the world;
but a gentleness, a kindness, proceeding from the
heart, proceeding from an appreciation of the Lord's
spirit and the spirit of the Truth, the spirit of love,
and the spirit of justice, also. Z.'01-297 R2879:3
